The only changes that I can think of that I used a ODB2 to Bluetooth adapter last week but I unplugged it after use.

You're right, the car runs on the alternator when it is on.
To trouble shoot the problem... did the USB Port ever function properly and pump out enough power to charge your phone in the first place?
AFAIK -- Car USBs charge really slow. The charging port is much more efficient.
